Here are some of the latest notable Google (Alphabet) class-action developments reported recently:
Android cellular data tracking settlement (preliminary approval)
- A $135 million settlement related to alleged collection/surveillance of Android users’ cellular data for targeted advertising received preliminary court approval in early March 2026.[1]
- The settlement is described as covering Android users who used mobile devices on cellular networks between Nov 12, 2017 and the date of final approval, with California Android users reportedly excluded due to a prior settlement.[1]
- The page also notes class members were expected to submit requests/exclusions/objections by May 29, 2026 (pending final details from the settlement administrator).[1]
Google privacy / tracking despite “off” setting (jury verdict)
- In Sept 2025, a federal jury found Google liable in a class action and the company was ordered to pay $425 million (reported as over privacy claims involving allegedly continuing to collect data even when users had disabled a tracking feature).[2][4]
Google Assistant “recording conversations without consent” (proposed settlement)
- In late Jan 2026, Google/Alphabet were reported to have agreed to a proposed $68 million settlement to resolve allegations that Assistant-enabled devices recorded private conversations without consent.[3]
If you tell me which one you care about (Android data, Assistant, or the “tracking turned off” privacy case), I can summarize the claim, eligibility basics (where reported), and what typically happens next (final approval dates, how payments work).
